Our wine list has been updated and it’s about time. We’ve been selling out of some wines and adding others so fast that we haven’t even had time to get the new wines onto the online list. We added a Blaufrankisch and sold out all three cases before we could even write about it here, and it looks like we won’t be getting any more from our dealer. We also just sold out of the last of our Goldmuskateller and while we’re trying to locate more, it doesn’t look likely.

Here’s the new list.

Our new wines taste like kitten!

Like the saying goes, when god drinks all of one wine he throws another in through the window, or something like that, and we’ve got three new ones on the menu. There’s a bracingly dry Don David Torrontes Reserve which is a white wine that tastes like you’re drinking the desert (only not as sandy). When people ask for a dry wine, it’s often hard to give them something genuinely dry. This one is dry, no lie.

.

We also added a Castelli Monaci Maru 2006 which is the blackest red wine I’ve ever had. Almost bitter, it’s dark, dense and has a bit of licorice and herbs to it, but really it’s just downright intense and it goes great with the Greek salad.

.

Then there’s the La Scolca Rosé which is the best rosé I’ve ever had. I like having a rosé on the menu, but often they taste fussy and frilly, like TV wine or something proper young ladies sip when they visit their friend’s house in the Hamptons. This is one of the first rosés I’ve ever had that tastes smooth and creamy instead of flowery and overbearing. Usually I drink a rosé and am transported into a room with floral wallpaper and lace trim on everything. This rosé is practically macho.
